Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Skylofts at MGM Grand

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

Occupying the top two floors of MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, the ultra-luxury boutique hotel within the hotel Skylofts overlooks the Las Vegas Strip. Tony Chi designed the suites to feature soothing neutral toned contemporary furnishings and every of-the-minute technological gadget you can imagine. A personal butler is dedicated to each guest and available 24 hours to satisfy any whim, from custom gourmet room service to in-room movies on demand.

The hotel’s 51 luxury lofts offer gorgeous views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, making your spacious one- to three-bedroom loft one of the best spots to take in all of Las Vegas. Skylofts' location right on the Strip also puts you within walking distance of all the entertainment and attractions that Las Vegas has to offer — many of which are located right outside your door within MGM Grand — only you can come and go through your own quiet and private entrance.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Maybe it’s the fact that you enter Skylofts on the 29th-floor lobby or that it’s an exclusive hotel within another hotel, but there’s no denying that the sleek interior design and personalized service exude a sense of chic.

Many hotels on the Strip are known for their personalized service, but Skylofts at MGM Grand sets itself apart from the moment you arrive at the airport; the hotel can send a staff member to greet you and transport you to the hotel in a Rolls-Royce Ghost.

While staying at Skylofts at MGM Grand, you’ll have your own private butler to make your stay more comfortable and convenient, and these guys are pros. They’ll handle everything from small, random details like stocking your room with a particular item to arranging a small dinner party in your loft.

Things to Know

Because the Five-Star Skylofts is a hotel within a hotel, there are a few amenities you may not be able to find inside Skylofts itself, but you can certainly access at MGM Grand.

Skylofts doesn’t have a pool, but guests have complimentary access to the MGM Grand Pool Complex, which features five pools, a lazy river and private cabanas, as well as Wet Republic, the MGM Grand’s club pool with a sundeck and DJs.

The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurants but guests are a short walk from the specialty and casual dining options at MGM Grand. A few restaurants — such as Craftsteak and FiAmma — also offer dinner through Skylofts’ in-room menu. The regular in-room dining menu is also very good.

The Rooms

All of the 51 “rooms” at Skylofts at MGM Grand are actually two-floor lofts designed to feel more like Manhattan apartments than Las Vegas hotel rooms.

Lofts at the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel come in one-, two- and three-bedroom varieties, and each is decked out with limestone floors and stairs and high-quality upholstery and fabrics throughout.

Fun design elements, such as the Colombian artwork and black and white statues, give each a swanky residential feel.

The beds are covered in soft, all-white Anichini linens and six plump pillows, and bedside there’s a comfy chaise lounge with soft Kashwére blankets, perfect for cuddling up to read.

Nearby Attractions

See the 460-foot Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas. It’s about half the size of the original in France, but the view from the top is still impressive. A windowed elevator zooms 50 floors up to the open-air observation deck, which boasts 360-degree views of the city skyline.

If you head to the west-facing deck, you can catch a water show at the Fountains of Bellagio; they start every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of day.

Las Vegas offers plenty of over-the-top performances and an overwhelming variety of shows within a small radius. That holds true for Cirque du Soleil. The seven permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas include KÀ at the MGM Grand and the aquatic-themed O at the Bellagio.

For a little piece of Europe in the desert, head to the Venetian and take a gondola ride. You can choose to ride in the indoor or outdoor canals, and though you’ll pass by glamorous shops instead of historic buildings.

Even if you’re not getting married, you can still enjoy watching couples getting hitched in Las Vegas’ infamous wedding district on the Strip. The Little White Wedding Chapel is among the most famous sites to say, “I do,” with an iconic wedding drive-through.
